Growing up with a mother who lives to teach, I was determined to establish my individuality and not become a teacher. However, after one day substitute teaching in Pelham Middle School (where my mom is the 7th grade science teacher), I changed my mind. I, too, especially love teaching middle schoolers...must be genetic. I've been substitute teaching in Pelham for about 4 years now during my vacations from Tufts University. I graduated from Tufts this past May with a B.A. in English and Psychology and can't wait to be in the classroom full time.

Outside the classroom, I enjoy traveling and eating, and eating while traveling. I spent junior year abroad at University College London and loved the city and my experience there. I also just moved into New York City and am very excited to return to city-life, though slightly less enthusiastic about waking up each morning at 6:00 to commute to school.
